AND JUST WHEN LAYLA THOUGHT THINGS COULDN'T GET THAT BAD AT HOGWARTS, the next morning she received The Daily Prophet. Startled by the news, she left the paper on the table for Megan and Wayne to see: there was a large photograph of Dolores Umridge, wearing a wide smile on her lips, and she was blinking slowly under the following tutorial:

MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM AND APPOINTS DOLORES
UMBRIDGE AS FIRST SUPREME INQUISITOR

In a surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

«"The Minister for Magic has been growing uneasy about goings-on at Hogwarts for some time" said Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic Percy Weasley. "He is now responding to concerns voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do not approve."»

This is not the first time in recent weeks Fudge has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30 August, was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person.

«"That's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts," said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, so the Minister put in Umbridge and of course, she's been an immediate success, totally revolutionising the teaching of and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts."»

⠀⠀"Please tell me that by immediate success they mean she's going to get fired," her best friend muttered in annoyance.

⠀⠀"Don't read it any more! I'm sick of that pink toad, stop it," said the boy, looking askance at the paper.
